And we're only in the beginning of it! Let's see if I can remember everything, along with the price tags.
Yesterday NT got a quote back from the guy who's going to fix one of our windows: $282 (half due now, half when it's done).
Also yesterday, set up a meeting with the broker and gathered all the paperwork we need to bring (account statements, tax returns, etc.).
Also yesterday, NT and AS went to Home Depot and the hardware store for towel racks, door handles, toilet seat, new door for the balcony closet, stains, brushes, sandpaper, etc.: $212
Also yesterday, we had our second contractor come over and look at what we wanted done to renovate the bathroom and kitchen.
Today, I heard back from second contractor that he's ready with a bid and wants to go over it with us, so got that scheduled.
Tomorrow night AS and I go to meet with the broker. I'm glad we're seeing him soon, because I won't relax until I know we've got the mortgage. I imagine we'll also talk about the appraisal ($?).
Thursday we actually don't have anything specific scheduled to do with renovating or moving!
Friday afternoon we have the inspection of the new house ($500), and Friday evening second contractor will stop by to go over his bid with us ($?).
Whirlwind week

Love that it is a whirlwind for something sustainable, a place to build for your family. Does sound like such a flurry! But will be well worth it in the end. Pictures of the new home to follow? For personal privacy and protection I wouldn't list the link to the property, but pictures would be neat!
